Bulb cleaning and installation pouch and method

A method of handling a high heat lighting bulb, said method comprising:

• providing a pouch, said pouch comprising a non-porous flexible outer skin portion and an inner lining comprising a soft cleaning material, said non-porous flexible outer skin portion being substantially sealed around said inner lining;
• providing a high heat lighting bulb having a bulb portion and a power connecting portion;
• opening said pouch to expose said inner lining, wherein said non-porous flexible outer skin portion is initially sealed entirely around said inner lining before said pouch is opened to expose said inner lining, and wherein said pouch and said inner lining form a receptacle that is configured for receiving said bulb portion of said high heat lighting bulb therein when said pouch is opened;
• and
• grasping said power connecting portion of said lighting bulb and inserting said bulb portion of said lighting bulb into said opened pouch so that said pouch receives said bulb portion of said lighting bulb within said pouch and so that said bulb portion of said lighting bulb contacts said inner lining, while said power connecting portion of said lighting bulb remains at least partially outside of said receptacle.
